When it comes to social distancing, six feet can feel like six million miles. Conventional conventions may be out of the question right now, but our urge to come together to connect, learn, share, grow, and socialize is stronger than ever. If necessity is the mother of invention, and discontent is the father of progress, then perhaps AuDacity is the cool aunt who encourages both children to dream bigger.

In that spirit, the AuDacity 2020 Planning Committee, co-chaired by Dr. David Citron and Dr. Amyn Amlani, dreamed up a conference program so big and so innovative, it cannot be contained in Texas or confined to any physical location. AuDacity is moving to a virtual venue!

ADA provides resources to members to raise awareness of hearing health

The Academy of Doctors of Audiology encourages our members, and audiologists everywhere, to bring the message of Better Hearing Month to their states and home towns. We have prepared a draft proclamation you can provide to local elected officials in order to recognize the effects of untreated hearing loss on our patients and the ability of audiologists to help.
